A taste of Pakistan in Dubai

On 24th March, Gulf News had a Pakistan supplement



It had an article on Pakistani food along with a list of restaurants in Dubai famous for their Pakistani cuisine along with their contact nos. :




It had missed out 2 restaurants that I had seen in Karama - Nirala Sweets and Daily Restaurant.

SecretDubai had mentioned Daily Restaurant's Bihari kebabs on her blog.

Will post the contact nos. of Nirala and Daily when I get them.

Ministry of Labour - New Toll Free Helpline - 800 665

With the construction blitzkrieg happening in Dubai, there are bound to be labour problems. Good of the Ministry of Labour to start a helpline.....hmm..looks like this is more for the companies...there was also a toll free for labour...






...in tandem with the above post, I am posting the low res scan of the booklet for UAE Labour printed last year...the toll free for labour is 800 9119.

Jazeera Airways - A Budget Airline from Dubai!

Finally, a budget airline with a base in Dubai (Air Arabia takes off only from Sharjah) but still with not so many destination choices in India. Hopefully, they'll add more.

Language Classes during lunch!

Dubai Internet/Media City/KV- One moe food option

Found this Delivery Menu of Jafla cafeteria in our building lobby in DMC. It says they are located in Jumeirah.

YellowDVD - UAE's first DVD Commercial Directory

Received the YellowDVD in the snail mail last week. The letter included explains this new concept in yellow pages, which if actually seen logically is the most obvious progression in the evolution of the printed Yellow Pages. Just imagine lunging around with the big printed Yellow Pages directory in your bag!
Now I wonder how long it would take Al Wahda Express (UAE's official Yellow Pages in collaboration with Etisalat) to come out with a DVD version. The YellowDVD has roped in Dubai Municipality...so looks like it is set to dominate Dubai. With Etisalat now charging for its 180 directory phone service, YellowDVD might just about pull it off!

The Direct mailer letter:




The actual DVD - outside and inside:

Bebida - Door 2 Door delivery

Another booklet - catalogue of Bebida, a door delivery service in the UAE - I think- the booklet doesnt mention any particular emirate…though the address says they are located in Dubai. I just scanned a few outer pages and a few inner ones. These guys dont have a website, so ‘ll scan the entire booklet and put it up as a pdf. This door delivery service should be very useful to residents of New Dubai as they still don’t have groceries and supermarkets near where they live and commuting through Duba’s nightmarish traffic jams is not an option.

Last Minute Supermarket at Dubai Media City

This should be useful for those staying and working at Dubai Media City. The scan here is of their quaint promotional booklet. Didnt have time to scan all the pages - so you have to do with the outer cover scan and an inner page. But the phone numbers and services are there, so need a last minute service in Dubai Media City…you know who to call!

HyperPanda sale! March 22nd to April 4th!

HyperPanda is the massive hypermarket at the Dubai Festival City. Heard that you can great deals there…I would go only if wasn’t so far from where I stay! I scanned the entire 4 page flyer that was left at my doorstep.

DEWA - New Customer Service Office at Deira

Got this too in the Dewa bill mail.

DEWA (Dubai Water & Electricity) New Bill payment at Enoc and Eppco Petrol Stations

Got these in the snail mail along with the Dewa bills. Dewa now lets you pay your bills at Enoc or Eppco petrol stations. This is good news. I remember the days when I had to commute to the Dewa Office at Garhoud. This new option should be great! The Payment points information at the back of the flyer could have been organised according to the areas for easier reading.

Dubai Police - Emergency Numbers Card

I found this business card sized cards displayed for free distribution at Rashid Hospital and at some mall…I guess they might be there at most malls and hospitals and other public venues. Click on the images to view a larger version.



The front portion (above) has the Al Ameen contact numbers and email.



The back portion has a list of the emergency numbers of the Police, Fire, Dewa including hospitals.
